It is designed for people coming from other languages.  Like groupon
in china is gaopeng.com, but gaopeng is 高朋 when written as characters.
  高朋.com is http://xn--bpvz66i.com/ in puny code.

The problem with puny code is that it is a security nightmare, and no
safe browsers are ever going to support it.

Can you find the difference between http://paypal.com/ and
http://paypaḷ.com/ ?
